Renovation Update ד"בס
March 15, 2019 By Norman Heyden
All eight of the stained glass panels for the Aron Kodesh in the main shul have now
been installed. The panels are very beautiful and add a lot to the appearance of the
Aron Kodesh. On the right side, starting with the top window, are the creation of:
Day 7: Shabbos,
Day 1: Light and darkness,
Day 2: Arrangements of rokiah to separate between the heavenly and earthly waters,
Day 3: Vegetation and fruit.
On the left side, starting with the top window, are the creation of:
“Day 8”: Future Shabbos of Moshiach,
Day 4: Sun, moon, and stars,
Day 5: Creation of sea life and birds,
Day 6: Reptiles, animals, and man.
The revised lettering for the luchot has been ordered and will be completed around
March 27. We expect the luchot to be installed by Mr. Fligelman prior to the Chanukat
HaBayit. Mr. Henig plans to install the side doors of the Aron Kodesh this week.
A beautiful new ner tamid for the main shul is under construction and should be
shipped to OE in the next few weeks. We expect it to be installed prior to the Chanukat
HaBayit. An artist in Israel, Gabriel Bass, is working on designs for two wood-carved
menorahs to be installed on the front wall of the main shul. A dedication for them has
been received.
Mr. Fligelman has secured the LED light strip at the top of the mechitza to hold it in place. All of the acrylic sheets and new mesh screen images of the Kotel have been delivered to Beamsderfer Gallery. Assembly of the new panels will begin there next week. Due to Purim, it is not expected that all of the new panels (for the main part of the mechitza) will be installed next week, but all should be installed during the following week. Mr. Fligelman continues to work on the new mechitza panels and mechitza door for the front of the shul. He will be taking all of the main shul wood entrance doors back to his shop to refinish and apply brass kick plates the week after Purim. They will be returned before Shabbos of that week. A second social hall bookcase for installation in the hallway, matching the dimensions of the first, is under construction and should be installed soon.
A number of door frames were painted last week, including the frame around the center hallway doors. Replacement doors for the toddler room and for Rabbi Kaufman’s office have been ordered.
The bathroom between the two main bathrooms will be repurposed as a nursing room as decided by the congregation many months ago. Orders have been placed for a nursing room chair, vanity, mirror, and new light fixture.
Please DO NOT pull on the mechanism below the book stands in the main shul. One of the book stands in the men’s section has already been broken from someone pulling on the mechanism too hard. Please DO NOT pull on the
book stands AT ALL. If you see someone struggling to use a book stand please show them how to lower and raise it correctly. Please also instruct guests on how to use it.
